All jokes aside, the moral of this thread is that you should not trust someone just because he/she/they/it is a DDFer. Investigate before you put yourself at risk. Take into consideration the number of posts and the content of those posts (and your gut feeling).
Contact Henche if you got scammed.

that puts that mystery to rest!

when buying a Gift card from a stranger, you always want to make sure the card is older than 60 days. To make sure that won't happen.

60 days may help but it doesn't guarantee anything
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

How can you verify that aside from relying on someone who you're not so sure you trust's word?

receipt, cc bill, call gift card company and ask activation date.

If all that was missing was contact info then it can't really be called a scam.

Yes, this thread itself is a scam. But you know what they say... you can't con an honest man.

Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.
